Question

When the space shuttle is launched from Earth, a constant force is applied and the shuttle accelerates upward. As the
flight progresses, its rate of acceleration increases. Explain using Newton’s Laws.

Answer 1

pushing away from earth --> constant force
pulling back toward earth -- >> F = GMm/r^2

look at the r^2 term

Answer 2

Gravitational attraction force will decrease with r increses.
Right??

Answer 3

U knowvpushing force is constant

Answer 4

And pushing force and gravitational attraction force rvoposit in direction

Answer 5

So resultant force acting on shuttle is pushing force and increasing.

Answer 6

According to
F=ma
If F increases then acceleration a increases
